MUĞLA - Anadolu Agency
A number of historical structures are being restored for film productions.
Cultural authorities in the southwestern province of Muğla are
moving to restore a number of historical structures, including mosques,
inns and bridges, in the Yatağan district after the sites began drawing
the attention of film and TV producers.
“Lots of examples of
civilian architecture are being kept alive in our district. So far,
certain structures have been restored in the area, but now 13 more
structures will be restored, too. This area will be a complete area for
filming,” said Yaşar Gencel, the mayor of the town of Bozüyük, in which
the sites are located.
Local and foreign tourists from places
like Belgium, Norway, France and the United Kingdom, who have learned
about the district on television thanks to films and series, are coming
in increasing numbers to the area to snap photos.
Gencel said
the district was a natural place for filming due to its Ottoman
buildings, which were built by Süleyman the Magnificent ahead of his
campaign to conquer Rhodes.
“An Ottoman district, Bozüyük sheds
light on history with its well-preserved texture,” he said, calling the
restoration efforts a “street reinforcement” project.
About 40
percent of the site is an urban archaeological site, the mayor said,
noting that a number of locals were also taking part in productions.
